You need a different approach if you want to make money with traffic driven by social media.

Good start to the article but it would have been cool if you’d gone on to give some more definite examples of Web 2.0. apps which are successfully charging people money. The article kind of fizzled out for me. StumbleUpon seem to selling a lot of sponsorship for example, who kind of figures can you find on that? Any other apps out there successfully doing this? How do you know this strategy works, have you done it yourself, seen others do it (who?) etc. that kind of thing. People are definitely looking for ways to monitise social media traffic but probably need more pointers than this.

@NickWilsdon, I completely agree.  I will put some research together and return with a follow-up post to be proud of.  It would also be great if anyone that is or is not making money with social media would comment on their strategies and/or results.
